announcing his condition, which in all
instances was favorable reported upon. A great
many persons have called on the Governor since
his more serious illness, but few of them have
penetrated to his chamber. Those who saw
him expressed astonishment at his perfect
equanimlty OF mind and calmness in waiting
the end. His appearance is as natural as ever,
and save slight eontortion of one side of the
face, old acquaintance would detect nothing
unusual in his countenance or physique. He
speaks as one who is prepared for death, and
does not fear the last moments of life.
THE PATIENT MUCH BETTER.
LATEa-The Governor steadily improved dur
ing the early hours of the evening, and as the
night advanced his improvement was even
more marked. He has so far thrown off the eff
fects of the shock that his friends have no ap-
prehension now of a change for the worse occur
ring. His brother, Columbus, is so confident of
the crisis being past that he let the house to-
night for the first time since the unfortunate
occurrence.
DR.. Mccarthy con firms the opinions of relatives
and friends and states that the Governor is rap
idly recovering his strength. His pulse is
stronger and more regular, and his temperature
nearly normal There is now every hope that
he will recover from the paralytic stroke but it
is feared that his kidney troubles will prevent
his ultimate recovery.
No fear OF his immediate demise is felt
Among the Governors visitors to-day were n.

STILL IMPROVING.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25th-140 A. M.-Gov-
ernor Bartletts condition remains improved as
heretofore reported, and unless some unex-
peeted change occurs no bulletin will be issued
until O'Clock in the morning.
